Slashdot Mirror

I didn't refer to this article, this was a statement about the situation in general.

Obviously this is too high for the typical slashdotter. Sweet.

I didn't know it was new that the mainstream media never tells you the whole story, on what subject you wish.. not only MS..

:P
cool ;o
haha.
w00t

Stick with the old docs, they aren't bad either :-)

..with one year warranty. Obviously they don't have any trust in their products if they shorten the warranty time. So why should I trust them?

Whatever. Here in Europe they _must_ give you at least two years warranty (not guarantee!)

stupid fucker. go live on in your tiny naive world.

I do not like this lumping together.

And I wonder who gave _this_ post a +2. It is
- off topic
- a bit too naive (just cause I wrote around 2 useless posts doesn't mean I am a troll)

Please think about it.

Thank you very much! (This thank goes to the other repliers as well:)
Now I can imagine a bit better what this thing is.. :-)
thanks again

..i still don't really know what jabber is and the jabber website couldn't tell me this either in simple words.
I tried some Jabber client some months ago but couldn't really do anything with it.

Could anyone of you guys be nice and explain what it is? (perhaps compared to widely known things like irc, icq, napster...)
THANK YOU!

cmdrtaco got it: You suck so much. Blah blah blah.

j/k so that all those cutie fluffy little trolls don't need to write it anymore ;)

Thank you both for your insights. Obviously I really already had a wrong image of the importance of the internet nowadays.

Still I wonder why it hasn't happened, since it would be such a small price to pay to make it happen. (admittedly the price to pay for the last big terrorist attack wasn't that high either, but a "better" stragedy would be to attack on many fronts, wouldn't it?)

btw, Starbucks sucks cause it is far too expensive - at least here in Europe ;)

I only why wonder the level of risk is low. There have been severl papers describing how a worm which would make the net unuseable in some seconds to minutes would have to works. Why doesnt anyone do it?
(see my other comment too..)

you lights won't last long. Different lamps. Bad luck.

one thing is clear: The world's biggest threat aren't some "evil evil Arabs" but atm it's the US Government. Even for us in Europe.

Probably I'll be moded down now by all these good, patriotic and loyal Americans who still pretend to fight for freedom and human rights.
All I can do about this is becomeing depressed. Well, that's life I guess.

But the potential of harm you could cause with a good attack on the net _is_ huge. That's a fact, not hype.

I really really wonder why a large attack on the internet out of terrorism motivations hasn't happened already.
E.g. there are some nice white papers out there describing algorithms for really fast worms (keyword warhol) so it would only need a programmer. Probabably not a very hard job for a trained programmer to write such a things. Little work and within minutes to even seconds the internet could be more or less unuseable.

So why hasn't it happened yet? Haven't they (various terrorist - remember, there's not only bin Laden out there, but other mad guys too) learned how to use a computer? Haven't they realized the huge potential harm they could cause yet?

I'd be happy for any insights into this :)

whatfor did i register myself and deactivted displaying uninteresting topics like Anime if i see them anyway then?!?!!?!?!?!?
